Exactly what backpackers and campers are looking for. This design feature is why the stove works as well as it does. The chambers lead to ports at the top of the stove where the wood gas is ignited.īurning wood gas is very hot and creates very little smoke. Here, the air is superheated, creating a wood gas. Holes evenly dispersed around the bottom of the stove lead to chambers embedded in the double walled cylinder. Without air flow the fire doesn’t happen.īut Solo Stove takes the concept of airflow and puts a turbo on it.
Of course, the stove accommodates air flow. I especially appreciate simple design that is highly functional. It’s just a solid little burning machine and it should last as long as you. It is basically a double walled stainless steel cylinder five inches or so high and around five inches across. I am not sure I could damage this stove if I wanted to. When the Solo Stove was designed, durability was definitely a top priority. The ring stores neatly inside the stove when not in use and then slides out, inverts and rests on the stove for cooking. The stove has two parts, a stove and a ringed pot holder. Speaking of the unboxing, if you blink you will miss it. Of the numerous reviews I have read about this product, none have noted damage upon unboxing so maybe my concerns are unwarranted. I understand the stove is basically a double walled stainless steel cylinder and is protected against scratches by the storage pouch, but I still think some padding would be nice. The box lacks any form of protection against damage caused by mishandling during shipping. You can find this stove in the dark and it will be ready to use when you take it out. It is clearly marked with a high visibility white logo and will make for a great way to keep the dust out of the stove when not in use. The pouch is lightweight but I like it because it is functional. When the box is opened, it reveals a black fabric pouch, encapsulating the stove. The box is basically square, around 7 inches on each side, with a Solo Stove logo printed on the side. The Solo Stove Lite comes in a nice compact package. In the end, you should have enough information to make a quality choice on your own. Look at every aspect and compare it against some other popular stoves on the market. Let’s break this stove down and really tear it apart. It’s a rugged piece of equipment that performs well and won’t break the bank.
